I've got the 700-r4 with 3.73 rear. It's a pretty good setup. One thing most people don't like about the 700 is the really low first gear, or rather the big step from 1st to 2nd. Bounce your head off the back window.

I think probably the best setup for our trucks would be a 350 motor, 200-4r trans and 3.73 rear gearing with posi. Best for power, fuel economy and overall driveability right there.
